What problems are we trying to solve?

» Libraries want to make data-driven decisions about the management of their [book] collections but the data that is currently available does not allow them to do this with confidence

» Libraries want to ensure that researchers and learners have sustainable and convenient access to [digital] books but it is currently not obvious what is available or what could readily be made available


New solutions for digital access to books

How are we going to solve these problems?

Licensing and rights

Access pilot projects

Data Digital access

UK National bibliographic knowledgebase


Usage data

Assurance ofdata accessibility

Version tracking and linking

Facilitation of new publishing models

Availability Data

Advice and guidance

Data quality enhancement

Community engagement

Support for novel forms of metadata research

Six objectives of the knowledgebase

1.To enable UK academic libraries to make cooperative collection management and development decisions with reference to the largest possible aggregation of UK library data

2.To help libraries rationalise their print stock and reduce their physical footprint through a better understanding of what is rare and what is common (and what is currently available and what is likely to remain available)

3.To contribute to the data flows that will make it easier (cheaper and more efficient) to discover, obtain and manage e-books

Data-driven strategy

Space management

Better e-Book data


Six objectives of the knowledgebase

4. To support a national level framework for UK F/HE that clarifies rights and permissions to access scholarly digital materials (or where necessary it facilitates the lawful creation of digital copies of inaccessible print materials)

5. To support the discovery and delivery of the best quality and most persistently accessible digital version of scholarly materials wherever they are globally available

6. To allow any service provider (including Jisc) to integrate with or build more effective discovery, analysis and management tools/services on top of the most comprehensive, open and best quality aggregation of UK library data that it is possible to build

Work through a diverse range of scenarios


Is the work available

commercially?

Consult the database to

holder is known

Get me permission to digitise the uses I

specify

Digitise and use under dedicated

terminals

Orphan work

Follow procedure and

use as liked

Digital access to monographs -method

»Workshop to determine viability of proposed solutions› Flexibility required and offered by library› Time vs cost› Budget and time restrictions› Priorities› Risk appetite


What‘s the problem?

»What stops you obtaining all the digital books you need or want?

»10 mins to generate ideas


Break-out groups task

»Which problem is the most common?»Which would you prioritise (strategically)?»What are your requirements› For how many users concurrently?› On campus or remotely?› Rent or buy?

From the workshop 25th February

» Priority problem is ebook provision for reading list requests, particularly in non-science disciplines

»Too many titles unavailable, too little information on availability easily found

»Too many platforms, suppliers, interfaces, T’s and C’s› Makes acquisition inefficient and confuses users

»Continuity of access to specific titles is a problem
